While it would be really really hard to misidentify an 8,000 ton ship, it is possible. And there is just no reasoning behind an intentional attack that doesn't stink of wacky conspiracy theory and can be backed up by anything but the author of said wacky conspiracy theory...
By the way, I actually saw one of the flags from the USS Liberty at the National Cryptologic Museum. Pretty interesting museum if you get the chance to go.
